My Original Thoughts

I absolutely loved Ariel. I can't really go in depth about it, because when I first saw it, I was really little. (Prolly about 5 или 6) But my feelings were pretty straightforward: she was a MERMAID & was pretty & a unique princess. I mean, I kinda wanted to be her. Who wouldn't want to live under the sea? I never really understood why she wanted be a human, though, because a mermaid was freaking amazing in my mind! Something I do remember is, my mom and my little and older sisters had a Дисней songs CD. We would replay "Part of Your World" just because it was "our" song. :)

My Thoughts Now

I still Любовь Ariel! We have had our ups and downs; at one point, I hated, или еще so, disliked her. I've come to my senses and realized how adorable she is. Her rebellious spirit that she has I admire. Mostly because I can't take risks for diddly squat.. She is such a bubbly character & can think on her feet. в общем и целом, общая though, I can't avoid her quite unintelligent decision to visit Ursula, who she knew was the sea witch. /: And then, her head-over-heels nature with Eric is over excessive for me. Obviously, that's an important component to the story, but it's just a trait I'm not particularly fond of.

Beauty

It's actually quite difficult for me to even distinguish my feelings about her looks. No doubt, Ariel can have some stunning shots, but then again I never really saw her as exceptionally beautiful. I think she's pretty, but borderline cute. First of all, she does have a beautiful eye color, but then they decided to put three eyelashes on each eye. A lot of people complain about her body looking "anorexic" (& I absolutely despise that term, but I don't have time to explain why. Maybe some other time) In all honesty, I think Ariel's body looks just fine. I do have a problem with her hair. Though it has a lot of volume and I Любовь the way it looks underwater, the color is terrible. I know they couldn't have done blonde because it would make the underwater scenes give off some odd coloring, but what was the point in giving Ariel a brash, quite off-putting color?

Wardrobe

What to say.. What to say.. I do like the sparkly dress at the end, and the blue outfit she wears to town is cute, but besides that, nothing particularly sticks out in a positive или even a neutral light. Negatively though, I don't like her humongous sleeves on Ariel's wedding free nor do I like the dullish розовый color of the dress she wears to dinner.

Voices
Speaking

Honestly, there isn't much to go off. Yes, we have some time in the beginning when she speaks but it doesn't give me an impression of any kind.

Speaking

Eh.. I think Jodi can sing, but idk. I'm just not feeling Ariel's Пение voice. At times, it's nasally. Other times, I really Любовь the way it sounds. Overall, I'm very indecisive about Ariel.

Swanpride I always found it odd to complain about the body build of what basically is an imaginary figure. She is a mermaid. Plus, it's animation, which is always stylized. Ariel's eyes are certainly her most beautiful feature. They are so expressive (which they have to be, because of the mute scenes, but still).

MalloMar Nice job, as usual. I agree with most of this (That's all I ever say now...:|) I like Ariel, but I can understand why others don't. I think I can understand why you dislike the term "looking anorexic", because anorexic isn't a look, it's a disorder. At least, that's why I can't stand that term. She's lovely, but not the most beautiful. I actually like her hair color. My favorite Ariel outfit is the sparkly lavender dress. Beside that, I also don't think anything else really stands out. Her voice is nice. Sorry for talking about myself instead of the article. I guess I'm just comparing my opinions to yours. I can't wait for the next part!

rapunzelsgold_ I'm glad I found someone else who isn't crazy about her voice :/ I've always found it weird that Ariel never had a "belty" song, and yet she's one of the most popular Princesses. Her voice seems like it's fit for that type of song and yet they just flunked it. Nice article though! I'm also glad you're against people calling her "anorexic" too.

8804 First of all, excellent article, CraZy_rawR!!! True, Ariel's song is not a "belty" song all the way through...like, say, Let It Go or Almost There. I seem to remember Howard Ashman wanting the song to have a quieter vibe, as if being under the sea in an enclosed area was part of the "feel" of the song, to contrast with the lyrics which talked about "wide open spaces" ( up where they walk/ up where they run/ up where they stay all day in the sun vs. the seas depths where not much light penetrates). Back in the day, Belle's voice was quite belty during the normal verses prior to the louder choruses. and contrasted with Ariel's. I seem to remember that Belle's voice had a brass tone to it ( even though I was only eight at the time, I thought this was the case). This made Ariel's softer, sweeter voice a treat for me. But I was never one of those people who loved "brass, belty Broadway songs." I remember liking Esmeralda's singing voice for much the same reason. You can still get your point across, without verging on scream-shouting your song. But this just proved that I was the reverse of most people, who loved the loud singers. Wonderful job as usual!!! I'm sorry for wandering off into my rambling again. But you just caused me to reassess "why" I've loved Ariel's voice for an extremely long time. And probably, Mulan's, too, for the same reason. Looking forward to reading the next article in this series!!!

avatar_tla_fan I don't agree with everything, (I'm neutral about Ariel.) but great article! I do agree with some of the things you said though: "Eh.. I think Jodi can sing, but idk. I'm just not feeling Ariel's singing voice. At times, it's nasally. Other times, I really love the way it sounds." I don't think her voice is all that great either. "A lot of people complain about her body looking "anorexic" (& I absolutely despise that term, but I don't have time to explain why. Maybe some other time." This isn't that related to Ariel, but I hate that term as well. (And when I made a poll about this a while ago I seemed to be the only one who really cared when people said that.) Anyways, wonderful article! ^_^

MaidofOrleans Great article! I'm not a huge fan of her singing voice as well. It just doesn't do much for me.

Updated ranking of the DP Фильмы

posted by disneymagic93

What I will write will be similar to what I wrote on the last article. Most of my opinions are the same except for Aladdin. I wanted to write an updated Статья because I finally rewatched Aladdin. Please no rude comments. Enjoy!

12. Brave- I despise this movie I really don't like Merida. While she may be a strong I think she is just rude and annoying. The film is so forgettable. I haven't seen the film in about 4 years and I don't plan on seeing it again.

12. Frozen- As many of Ты know, like Храбрая сердцем I detest this movie. The characters are very irritating & the movie was trying way too hard...

Дисней Princesses: Feminine Attributes of Charm

posted by laylastepford

Charm-the Real Feminine Mystique:
"A girl need not have perfect features nor an outstanding figure to be popular. But she should have charm. As Sir James Barrie had Maggie say in his play, What Every Woman Knows, 'If Ты have it, Ты don't need to have anything else; and if Ты don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else Ты have.'

Once Ты have acquired charm, you'll probably never lose it. Especially after Ты have discovered how much happier your life is because Ты are considered to be that charming girl down the street.

To be charming Ты need not to be any particular age, weight или height...

Here's my quick top10 избранное of Дисней Princess movie songs. I get stuck to a new tune или lyrics far easily, if its hummable and peppy especially. I like listening to songs and don't have particular fixed tastes in genres. Though i find, i tend to gravitate towards pop, rock and Indian music. Very rarely I enjoy classical music, although some that I Любовь become my all time избранное and they don't die-out. I guess that's how classic Музыка is. Anyways, this is my current Список of вверх 10 favrorites songs from DP movies, it keeps changing for sure as I Переместить onto newer songs.

The Classics (& Such DPs) Are Unrealistic....

posted by laylastepford

.... или Are They? I keep hearing this massive distortion that Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora and sometimes others are "unrealistically perfect". Well first of all, they're not actually "perfect" but yes they strive for it and come pretty close. The number one reason? The earlier DPs were made in a time where families were still valued as well as good morals and they were on their best behavior in front of children, hoping that the kids would learn to embrace positive traits and reject negative traits so they would be еще positive people. They cared еще about well-roundedness, being modest...

Merida: A character review in her defense

posted by anukriti2409

source: Pete Ware

Okay, so I have come across a lot of criticism against Merida that she is childish, rude, reckless, selfish and what not. But since she's my 2nd Избранное princess, i'd like to put up a case in her favor for people to consider and see her in better light. I have tried to dissect the movie scenes, probed into possible perspective on various minor details that may have been overlooked.

Why she isn't sophisticated as others:
She no doubt loves both her mother and father, but Merida takes off a part of feisty, loud and unapologetically honest side from her father. She loves to fight with him, laughing...

My Ranking on Saddest Moments from DP Фильмы

posted by anukriti2409

The saddest moments from DP Фильмы that made me cry and most often they still do. Some are close to сердце while some are so well enacted and animated that i'm moved by the simplicity of emotions.

13. 3 good Феи put the entire kingdom to sleep:
Despite their best of efforts, they lose Aurora to the spell and the only way to make things work is to put the entire kingdom to sleep, waking only when she awakens. It makes me sad to see them blame themselves for this loss. It doesn't make me cry though, but yes, it puts me in a sad mood.

12. Золушка crying in the forest:
More than her dress...

My Version of "Prettiest Princess" Ranking

posted by laylastepford

So I've been Чтение that the "Prettiest Princess" ranking is sort of like a right of passage Статья that all of the Фаны here on Fanpop do so I figured it was time for my own. Instead of just doing a physical beauty ranking, I wanted to do an в общем и целом, общая beauty ranking instead. I personally see ranking women based only on their physical beauty as objectifying them so I am kind of confused that it's not looked at that way here on fanpop? (Not saying this to judge или condone others but just out of genuine curiosity and confusion considering the way some Фаны have reacted to perceived objectification...

The Artist's Definition: Snow White

posted by MissCinico

If any of Ты are familiar with character stylization или really art in general Ты might like this article. I'm talking about character stylization in the sense that when the artist is also the Автор of the character's personality and has written out their every thought in simply the way they are designed. This can also be called "interpreted art" as anyone can perceive it differently, but a common factor still remains that everyone agrees on. BASICALLY I'm going to "guess" what the princess' personality is like based on the way she's drawn, see what the general consensus is on her personality...

Songs that Match Snow White

This is an update to my original list.

My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music

This song reminds me of the scene in the woods after she's been scared by the dark shadowed shapes of the trees. When she asks the Животные what they would do and starts Пение With a Smile and a Song. Well this be an alternative song или whilst she' Пение she could be imagining her favourite things. I can also Snow White Пение this. It does require a positive sounding vocal so it makes sense.

Since this section has been very inactive lately I decided to fresh it up by Письмо another article, about my Избранное Дисней Princesses, hope you'll like this Статья :)

13. Merida

She's the only Дисней Princess that I don't like at all, but I don't dislike her either, I feel neutral towards her. The main reason might sound weird, but it's mainly because I don't think she fits in the Дисней Princess lineup, to be perfectly honest I would appreciate her character еще if she wasn't an official Дисней Princess. Besides that there's nothing wrong about her character except her temper, she's...
